it's only working in certain boards for the Tolkien theme.
Same for me, with the standard theme.

Also, I have noticed that a lot of the threads are "smushed", as in the boxes of text only fill up like half the screen, with the right half of the web page being totally blank.

But you know what, I had compatibility mode on, and I just took that off, and now it seems to be fine.

I still don't see any arrows at all.  And how do you turn on and off "compatibility mode"?

Prof, what theme are you using?

*edit*

Blah, after using Metallistic for so long, I can't stand any of the other forum designs...way too flashy for their own good. Makes everything harder to read for me. >.<

must be a clash between the portal system and IE7...

... the default theme is too flashy compared to Metallistic?

This is something I didn't know about until I got the latest version of IE.

Also, the reason I turned compatibility mode on in the first place was because certian things (specifically signatures*) are a little messed up otherwise, and those things are still a problem when I turn compatibility off.

*EDIT: Here's a pic:

I'm getting that squished forum thing in Chrome too.

And, the default one isn't as hard to read as some of the others, but on my widescreen monitor the forum is super stretched out, while Metallistic is stays one default size. That and I've gotten used to the black and grey.


*Edit*

I figured out what the forum is doing. It's sizing the thread windows based on how long the title part is, such as:

Cactus Game Design Message Boards > Open Forum > Off-Topic (Moderator: Gil Galad Elven King *Generic) > How would YOU design Encouragement?

The forum is then the same size as that amount of text. I tested it on several threads and it matches perfectly.

If the forum is having the strange sizing issue, go to these two threads to see what I mean:

http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=11454.0

That should be much much wider then this next thread

Since most users can see it in their themes and it doesn't seem to have blown up the site, thumbs have been expanded to most of the other boards.

Ironically, I'm catching myself saying that more and more during youth group.
   They are either trying to make me look/sound/seem crazy    -or-
    My hearing is going.

I refuse to be crazy so I blame it on the hearing (in fact, I tell the youth...I went to too many concerts when I was their age.)

I agree per post is better, but I think having no "Encouragement" at all is just fine.

No need to have encouragement. +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

So, is there no way to get this to work in Metallistic?
